LXC is a lightweight, fast, and highly efficient container management tool. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the process of installing LXC on OpenSUSE latest using the official LXC repository.
Before starting the installation process, it is essential to ensure that your system is up-to-date. You can do this by running the following command in your terminal:
sudo zypper update
Next, you need to add the LXC repository to your system. To add the LXC repository, run the following command:
sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Virtualization:/containers/openSUSE_Leap_15.3/Virtualization:containers.repo
After adding the LXC repository, run the following command to install LXC:
sudo zypper in lxc
This will install LXC and all its dependencies.
To ensure that LXC is installed correctly, run the following command:
lxc-info --version
This command will display the version number of LXC that is installed on your system.
To start the LXC service, run the following command:
sudo systemctl start lxc.service
After starting the LXC service, you can verify its status by running the following command:
sudo systemctl status lxc.service
Congratulations! You have successfully installed LXC on OpenSUSE latest. You can now start using LXC to create and manage Linux containers.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
